Last week I took the tank back to the shop that lined it 5 years ago. He said his lining was guaranteed for life, so he agreed to re-line the tank. While we were looking at the tank, we discovered a crack. He said he could solder the crack, re-line it, and paint the exterior of the tank with...

Klumpe, how did he get it out? Bob

I posted this in the Massey Ferguson forum but have not gotten any replies, so thought I would try here. I noticed my MF 35 gas tank is leaking. It is on the bottom of the tank. I can't find a hole, but when I wipe the wet gas off, you can see the area slowly get wet with gas again. It's...

Today I noticed my MF 35 gas tank is leaking in a couple of places. It is on the bottom of the tank. I can't find a hole, but when I wipe the wet gas off, you can see the area slowly get wet with gas again. It's almost like the gas is seeping through the metal tank. A drop forms about every...

Clearing the cookies took care of the problem. Thanks, Bob

Doc, each time I visit this site, I have to log in. Each time I log in, I click the "remember me" box. As soon as I enter my ID, it remembers my password. Your other sites always remember me, so am I doing something wrong that causes this site to not remember me? Thanks, Bob

Doc, the hardware and feed stores around here carry Gamefish Food in 50 lb bags. Kinda like dog food, except the pellets are about the size of the eraser on a pencil. You feed them all they can eat in 15 minutes. Hard to judge at first how much that is, but you can quickly see when they stop...

BC, if you are going to do much loader work, you should really consider a hydro tractor. I have a Kubota with hydro and FEL, as well as an old Massey 35 that is gear. The hydrostatic drive on the Kubota is so much better. If you are mainly going to be bush hogging big fields, or something...

Brandi, if you feed the catfish, they will grow in a hurry - around a couple pounds a year. I like to eat them when they are in the 3 - 5 pound range. I stocked my pond in 2003, and in 2008 I was catching some that weighed 10 pounds. Fortunately they have been reproducing too as each summer I...

dsnider, I'm still having trouble picturing what broke. Like Cowboy stated, it will be helpful if you can take a picture of where it broke off of the tractor. Sorry to not be able to help. Bob

rdbrumfield, good job on your trailer. It's so simple I wonder why I could not think of it. Thanks for posting the picture. Bob

dsnider, can you post a photograph of what broke? I have a TO30 and can't picture exactly what broke on yours. Bob

Jim, I had a similar problem on a BX 2200. The drive shaft to the front differential came loose (it has a similar connection as the drive shaft to the mower deck). I knew something was not right with the 4 wheel drive, but thought I would finish mowing, then check it out. That's when I saw...

Cowboy, try a pine straw rake. They are like a landscape rake, but much lighter. They have lightweight tines that are very flexible so they do not dig into the ground, and they easily go over tree roots. I got mine from Lienbach in Winston Salem. I think it cost around $150. In addition to...

The tractor was returned last Saturday. The Engine Stop Solenoid was bad. The new one cost $114.50 plus installation. It must not have been too difficult to install as there was only 2.5 hours of labor billed. Included in the labor was diagnosing the problem; replacing the fan belt; changing...

We bought it the fall of 2000. It has between 500 & 600 hours. Once I get it back and can see where the bad solenoid is located, maybe I can snap a picture to show everyone where it is located, and how you test it to see if it is bad. I'm curious to know how it is connected to the fuel...

Talked to the dealer yesterday. Seems the fuel shutoff solenoid is bad. They don't have one in stock and it will take about 3 days to get one in from Kubota. I think he said they cost around $150. My maintenance manual mentioned this, but as dense as I am, I could not find it. Sure not a lot...

Glad you got it going without having to spend a lot of money. Bob

I checked out the new switch this morning, doing all the tests shown in the manual. Everything tested as it should have, so I'm right back to where I started. The dealer is picking it up tomorrow. Bob

I didn't think about the new switch being bad, but I can see that as a possibility. I don't know if I can wire it direct or not. The manual is out in the garage so I'll have to check it tomorrow. The switch has one of the plastic wiring connectors to connect it to the tractor's wiring...
